Stumbled upon this somewhat old post, but I'll offer a suggestion nonetheless. > And this I just can't get my head around, why is /dev/sda1 not created? > /dev/sda shows up as expected and the kernel even recognizes that there is > a sda1 partition but the device entry isn't created. Perhaps you don't have GPT support enabled in the kernel (CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION) IIRC. In the dmesg output you posted, there's also no log entry showing the detected partitions, leading me to suspect that the kernel doesn't know about GPT partitions. Hope this helps anyone, Matthijs _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
